Maternity Services

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

From the first appointment with your obstetrician to the day you take your new baby home, you want the most experienced team. At University of Cincinnati Medical Center, we are the first in the state of Ohio and one of 34 hospitals nationwide to be certified by The Joint Commission for Perinatal Care. This means that we work to reduce infant mortality rates, maternal complications, unnecessary induction of labor and prematurity rates—which can lead to infant mortality.

As the regions only academic medical center, we have led the way in many groundbreaking developments in prenatal care and delivery. We utilize best practices and evidence-based treatments for routine and complex deliveries.

Great Care, Modern Facilities

We offer private, spacious birthing suites designed to handle every phase of your maternity stay, so you can remain in one room for your labor, delivery and recovery. State-of-the-art operating rooms are available for scheduled and emergency procedures.

Our board certified, in-house anesthesiologists are available 24-hours a day to ensure your pain management needs are met or if an emergency C-section becomes necessary.

We offer the most advanced technology for OB ultrasound, fetal heart rate monitoring, and prenatal care. And our Telemedicine Unit and technology enables ultrasounds to be performed and interpreted in real-time. With maternal fetal medicine specialists on staff, we’re often able to offer same-day test results.
